Thank you all for your kind emails.  Laura and I are exhausted but very
very happy.  We just spent our first night at home with the baby and now
we know the meaning of no sleep.  We are also slowly but surely
improving
our diaper changing and burping skills.  Baby Ryan is a bundle of joy
(most of the time) and we're soo lucky to have him home happy and
healthy.

I've been taking digital pictures, and I don't want to burden the
listserv
with them . . . but if anyone wants one emailed just let me know.

Hi everyone,

It's a boy!

At 10:57 pm on 9/2, my wife Laura gave birth a healthy baby boy.  His
name
is Ryan and he and mom are doing just fine.  He's a big boy at 8 pounds
and 7 ounces.  He has a thick head of hair and enjoys being rocked to
sleep, which seems to be one of his favorite activities.

Laura and I are absolutely thrilled.  I had no idea how wonderful it
would
be to become a father.  Words just can't describe it.

Thanks to everyone I spoke with in Ottawa for all the great labor and
delivery advice.  Ok, now off to bed for a long night's rest. Ha!

Robert
